Help me reduce the cost of my tiling - tops tiles

[Geneticsbunny]

I have unfortunately fallen in love with some Victorian style turquoise Minton's hollins tiles from Topps tiles. The plan is to tile up to dado rail sort of height and have a tiled dado and skirting.

As usual for my choices they are pretty much the most expensive tiles in the shop. I am hoping there is someone in here who is in the know about when/ if tops tiles have any offers or money off typed things anywhere? I seems to remember they used to take Tesco vouchers but they don't seem to do this any more.

Plan b is to see if I can reduce the tiled areas somehow. Maybe with some large mirrors or paneled sections or something? Or maybe use different tiles in the shower area?

You might be able to negotiate a price with them if you ask? Nothing to lose. Also see if there is another supplier of them and try to bargain with them?

Tilehouse.co.uk do them. They look quite a bit cheaper!

Google the tile name and call every company that can supply them.

Love those!

We just bought tiles from topps tiles, the in store people that helped us were so helpful, sorted everything out for us and they gave us the trade price (I think, it was a good discount anyway), so I'd just do a cheeky ask maybe?

Thanks All. I do some odd job person typed work so I may qualify for a trade account possibly? Will do an estimate of how many I need and get on Google and ring round some places.

They are these is anyone is interested.
